Topic: What Species Make the Best Bounty Hunter?

I was just wondering what species everyone thinks is naturally suited to be the best Bounty Hunters? And not just there physical characteristics, but their societies as well. Humans would be divided into their different societies, Mandalorian, Alderaanian, Corellian ,Soccoran and so on.

The Mandalorians are not direct decendents of the Taungs. The Taungs were aliens that conquered the planet Mandalore as well as many others. And they allowed members of other species such as Humans, Mandallion Giants, Cathars, and Togorians specifically to be assimilated into their culture. So Mandalorian doesn't mean human, it's a culture in which several species are members of. The Taungs obviously died out, but their culture lives on. Anyways, I think Barabels would be awesome hunters. Their infra-red vision, enhanced sense of smell, and physical size. Claws, Tails, and natural body-armor that is equivalent to battle armor.

Aside from the usual(Mandalorians, Rodians, ect.), I think Falleen would make great Bounty Hunters. All they have to do is send out some pheromones, and the bounties would fall at their feet. Too bad they're too regal to make good hunters.

I also think Tusken Raiders would make excellent Bounty Hunters, if they weren't so xenophobic. They're certainly aggressive enough to handle even the worst bounty and I wouldn't want to be at the wrong end of a Gaffi.

I pretty much agree with Mandalore Stargazer about this. But I like Gurlanins a lot too, and I thinks that they would be as good as a Clawdite. So in this order: Mandalorians, Clawdites/Gurlanins, and Bothans.

Aqulish are not that bright and their are the two species the fingered and webbed the fingered being the more aggressive of the species. As far as it goes any species could with the right training be a very good bounty hunter. Take Zuckas a Gand not very well know as bounty hunter's but their he is. 4-Lom and IG-88 Droids they are able to upgrade sensor's and learn new tactics ad as a droid never forget like living creatures, although an emp can take them down easily. Bounty hunting is learned you can list many different species and races in the same species and some will excel while others lag behind. Montross was a Mandalorian, but he was not as good as Fett, Gredo was no good at all, Snoova was a Wookie and a fairly well known and respected hunter. Boush was good enough to get Leia in to Jabba's Palace with Chewie. So mostly it is who can get their hands on the best equipment in the galaxy, during the Empire I would have to say Humans made the best because the Empire would share information more freely with humans than non-humans. Humans being in order of the most widely known for bounty hunting Mandalorian, Corelian, Coruscant. Coruscant is a good place to hale from because in the under-world you can encounter almost any species in the galaxy.
